[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's important for kids-when able- to work, period. It amazes me whenever I go to a fast food type restaurant or something of the like in this area and there aren't any teens working in it. Where do all the teens work in Fairfax  County?
Do they or their parents think they're too good for minimum wage jobs?[/quote]

Although I agree that teenagers now don't seem to be working jobs like they did when I was younger, I'm not sure if it's a DC area "thing" or a generational difference. I think working is so important for teenagers and gives them a good perspective, not to mention independence and a look what it really means to be responsible. However, something to remember is that nowadays teenagers are competing for these jobs with adults who really need the jobs. For the company they have a responsible employee (supposedly….) who is able to give more hours with a more consistent schedule.

Maybe this is why having an internship during the college years is turning out to be so important for graduates now.[/quote]
